For anyone who thinks "moon" mode has no purpose...

I think the point of moon mode here is that you dont see the point’s :bigsmile:

Cheers David

Dreaming is not necessary :bigsmile:









A very composite image

The other kind of mooning can be seen oneself with google images if you so desire

Wuz dat spot somewhere between F and H?

Omg shadows all wrong!!!

optional clothing… no pockets… I don’t want to imagine where I’d put the flashlight after using it

Around her neck. Others have mentioned keeping a neck light as well.

plenty of options w/ a strong clip…

In your bag silly.

You should always keep a light where the sun don’t shine…

:smiley:

So…you’re the Significant Other? Or were you one of the passers-by? :open_mouth:

finding the right spot without injury is important ..

Moon mode might help but so would a beacon

After you arrived at the springs did you place the light on moon mode and put it about 1 foot under water on a ledge to give the springs and eerie glow?

Nope, the water was too murky for that to work. However, I did swim around a bit with the light on a ~20lm level underwater, and I heard a few people remark about it. “Whoa, is that an underwater flashlight?!”

Really, it’s not remarkable. They sell waterproof flashlights at walmart. The interesting things about this light were traits that nobody seemed to notice, like the nice Nichia 219B tint.

shouldn’t we use waterproof gear in hot
spring due to nature of thermal expansion?
water might seep in and kill your light

It wasn’t as hot as my showers… and I haven’t had any issues with water leaking into lights there.

redundant, deleted

hmmmm, dunno but a friend of mine has her watch
died because of using it in the hot spring. (rated at
50 m or so). the glass might not expand as
much as the metal and water might come in.
maybe the spring there is not that hot?

I’ve never had any trouble with water leaking into a watch, either… even cheap ones, and even in really hot water. However, I’ve had water damage the watch band several times… and I assume the water would eventually dry out and crack the light’s o-rings in the same manner, but this would take repeated exposure over a period of months.

There is a “freezer” test described in other thread by one of the members to test if the flashlight is waterproof:

- Take out the battery and unscrew tailcap to let air in

- Put the flashlight in freezer for few minutes

  • close the tailcap, take it out and put it in warm water 40…50C
    The air inside will expand and if there is a leak you will see bubles going out of the flashlight. This way you can know for sure if your flashlight is waterproof in hot spring. And even if its not the expanding air won’t let water in unless you leave there for too long.
